If you have your heart set on buying a new desktop, HP is the brand you’ll probably want to start your search with, especially when it comes to the ENVY line. These are stylish PCs designed with the latest computer technology. The HP ENVY 750-530qd, for example, comes with an i5 or i7 processor (your choice), 8GB – 16GB of memory, and optional GFX AMD RX or GFX Nvidia graphics.
It has a high-end design that features an attractive brushed metal finish. There are several USB 3.0 ports that are backward compatible with older USB 2.0 devices. You can connect the keyboard, mouse, and other USB peripherals, such as an mp3 player and digital camera.
Wireless connection is possible with Bluetooth 4.0 interface technology. Your Bluetooth enabled mobile phone can transfer files to and from the HP ENVY desktop wirelessly.
Whether you want to work, enjoy multimedia, or do simple web tasks, this PC has the power to back it up. As mentioned above, processor options include quad-core Core i5 (7400) and i7 (7700 or 7700K) models. Both Core i5 and i7 processors offer Turbo Boost technology, with the latter achieving higher clock speeds. However, the i5 is still a good option if you are on a budget.
The cheapest memory option is 8 GB DDR4 SDRAM (2 x 4 GB). You have the option of upgrading to 12GB or 16GB DDR4 memory if you need more speed. The 8GB alone is capable of sufficiently running multimedia programs and photo / video editing applications. You can have multiple tabs open at the same time to multitask or search the web.
